NICE!! Look at all those yummy goodies... :drool5: :drool5:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I put SSBC disk on the front of my charger and it made a world of difference in the stopping power. I can imagine what a four wheel disk setup will do. Congrats.  :2thumbs:

Have you done other suspension mods?  You seem to be building a highway GT car there.

Ghoste - you pretty much hit it.

I really didn't start out to do it that way, it just kind of progressed in that direction. The car already looked the part but didn't drive as well as it looked so I did the the Gear Vendors Unit in March (best mod so far), so the car went great in a straight line (I can cruise at 80mph at 2800rpm) - just can't stop or turn as well as I would like.

SO, now the 4 wheel BAER brakes, Fully adjustable control arms and Hotchkis swaybar, cooling sytem mods and interior safety harness. After that, Coilovers and MagnumHP full tubular k-frame conversion. Believe me I have a shopping list full of stuff including plans to do either Indy Heads and intake or a full Pro-charger conversion (I just haven't decided which one to do yet). To be honest my goal is to build one of the baddest, best looking, handling and accellerating 68' Chargers in existance. Time will tell I guess.

Who do you trust to work on it locally with no fear of them beating on it? I am always paranoid. ...

Not easy to find and if you do find a shop you trust, know that you have struck gold.
